About China's Coolest Cars
A Beijing-Jeep Grand Cherokee, seen on the road in Beijing in 2017. The big Jeep was dusty but otherwise in good shape, and its best part was, without a doubt, the rare white 京·A MWZ-001 license plate.

This little pretty brown car is a real Jonway UFO, seen in Beijing in 2017. And that was very special. These never sold in big numbers in the Chinese capital, and lots of them have since been scrapped. Happily, this example was in a very fine shape, albeit covered with dust and some dirt.

A beautiful black Nissan Cima sedan, seen in Beijing, capital of China, in 2017. The big Nissan was parked near a crappy-stuff mall I visited a lot and it looked somewhat out of place amidst the many small and cheaper cars. Note the special 7-reflector units inside the headlights, seen on the top-left of the unit, a feature the Cima was famous for.

A Shuanghuan SCEO SUV seen near Chaoyang Park in east Beijing in 2010. The car looked nice in Chengguan livery but it also looked a bit tired. Always hard at work, we bet.

A horse-drawn carriage, seen in central Beijing in 2009. The horse appeared to be in great shape, with a fine hide and strong legs. The carriage has four wheels, small ones up front and larger ones at the rear. The front axle turns with the horse. The animal’s owner was selling super fresh and testy watermelons. This was near my house, and I always bought from this guy in summer. He came from a village to the east.

A blue JMC Yuhu 7 pickup truck, seen in east Beijing in 2019. The Yuhu 7 is an impressive pickup with JMC’s signature ‘stormtrooper’ front, a design JMC uses on many of their pickups and vans. This particular example is painted in a nice shade of dark blue and fitted with gray alloys. Note the truck behind the Yuhu 7, that’s a JMC too!
